Event Bulletin Board

3/15/18 - Our customers requested that we run the track CCW, but after reviewing all of the speed and safety issues that are created by running that direction, we have decided to run up the hill as we did last year.

3/14/18 - PRE-TECH is mandatory PRIOR to taking the track for your first practice session for this event (whether it be Friday or Saturday morning), and you MUST get a sticker from Tech showing you passed PRE-TECH

3/9/18 - Track direction updated to CCW, "down the hill"

Important News

Attention Potential Winter Series racers: Mini Swift will likely sell out before Pre-Reg closes Monday at midnight (PST). X30 Junior and Senior are in the single digits remaining too! If a class is sold out, walk-ups will unfortunately need to be turned away. You can Pre-Register on MotorsportReg and also make sure your SKUSA Membership is current. Please make sure to review the On-Line Info Sheet, especially if this is your first time racing with SKUSA.

Registration is scheduled to open in the new building from 10am to 5pm-ish. We are also tossing around the idea of doing a Mechanics-Only check in on Wednesday to help get the drivers through on Thursday. We'll announce this at the track if we do. PLEASE don't wait till the last minute to check in as a driver or mechanic. You won't be able to enter the facility on Friday without a SKUSA wristband.

In just one week, the 2018 season will begin for the Superkarts! USA organization as the inaugural SKUSA Winter Series kicks off at the AMR Homestead-Miami Motorplex in southern Florida. It is the earliest start to the season for the organization in almost 20 years, which continues to expand its national and regional schedule in an effort to reach all four corners of the United States. The California ProKart Challenge – SKUSA’s flagship regional program – is also slated to begin in less than 30 days, opening its six-race championship chase at Buttonwillow on February 2-3. New for the California PKC in 2018, and also for the SKUSA-affiliate Los Angeles Karting Championship, will be the X30 Super Master division.

Due to the difficulty of using the CIK specification numbers on Cadet bodywork we are modifying the requirement in Rulebook Section 20.2.2.1 to "at least 5" tall with a .750" stroke". The competition number shall be bordered by a yellow background of .375 minimum. No other modifications to the specification is allowed.

Superkarts! USA today confirmed an amazing prize package for the upcoming 2018 SKUSA Winter Series in Florida. The 4-race, 2 weekend format will crown 11 champions in as many race groups, and eight classes will receive an amazing series prize to kickstart their 2018 racing seasons.

The champion will have first pick from the prize pool. The second place points finisher will choose from the remaining three, and so forth.
